For everyone comparing BT and Airwolf, there is no comparison, on any level.
AW was a sleek jet/chopper hybrid with chainguns and missiles (to be fair, they rly only had room for rockets, not actual guided missiles, like sidewinders, copperheads, hellfires, tho they supposedly used these) if you were honest abt the design) that could hit mach 1 and target enemies from miles away, which was flown, early on, through some rather challenging and engaging plots (including String meeting and having to leave his only child, for instance), skillfully acted by some very talented folks, including crinkly yet reliable vet Earnest Borgnine.
BT was a clunky minigun platform that shook more than an AMF Harley, and was piloted into rather dramatically uncomplicated "bust of the week" police adventures, with decently likable James Farantino and so-wet-behind-the-ears-he-looked-like-he-just-came-from-junior-swim-class Dana Carvey, and backup coming from actors trained mainly on the gridiron. It was based on a movie whose writer originally envisioned BT as sleek, fast, and maneuverable or, in other words, basically Airwolf (I seem to recall he was apalled that they just "kept hanging cr4p on it").
Round one: String and Dom get called by Archangel, alerting them that a cheap, badly written chopper series is reducing the IQs of American kids (myself included: mea culpa), and that they must exercise "maximum prejudice" in dealing with the threat. They fly to the target area in under an hr (while BT is still groaningly forcing its way off the pad), lock on to the lumbering beast, and send a sidewinder missile (despite that missile in no way fitting in the underslung pod; go figure) up it's exhaust pipe. BT goes boom, falls dn.
Round two. Dick Butkus (what a name on that one; should have worked in porn) and Bubba Smith show up to help, and end up just sweeping up the remains of the show. String and Dom go home.
Round three. String plays the cello a lot and drinks rare vintages while AW gets several more seasons (tho the Van Dyke ones were. . bad). BT. . . Lingers on only as an Monogram model kit. ﻿
